About Luminous 1

People often ask me how I learned what I know, how long I have had these gifts, and was it in the family. 

The ability to see, understand and know what to do has been with me since childhood.  My mother, part Cherokee had amazing gifts of perception, intuition, healing and psychic abilities as did her mother before her.  I suppose you could say the door was open for me to step into these realms, but during these years those gifts were integrated rather than separated or spoken of as we might speak of them today.

Having the ability to look inside others and situations as a child put me in a different category and I often found myself alone or separate from groups and clique at school.  We moved around and I changed schools frequently, always leaving me a little bit of an outsider.  I spent the first 8 grades of school in Catholic School and found the hypocrisy (including blatant racial prejudice) astounding.  Every Sunday in church, I fainted dead away - could this have been a past life reaction?  On the way home from Kiindergarten, I discovered the library – books and learning have always been a haven for me. 

At 16, I was reading Dostoyevsky, Chekov, Tolstoy, Freud, Jung, Satre, Nietzsche and other great philosophers and thinkers.  I followed that reading with Eastern Mysticism, World Religions, classics in literature – just about anything that described the search of mankind for meaning and connection.  I began my yoga practice with Richard Hittleman on TV at 17 and visited the health food store downtown after work.  This was 1965 or so.   The quest to re-member who I am and what I came here to do – consumed me.

By the age of 18, I had four near-death experiences and each one took me into other worlds.  I have often asked myself if I wasn’t intent on leaving the planet…and in retrospect, I can see these were all in divine order to teach and show me things I would not have otherwise been able to experience.  Some of these experiences are recounted in my book GIRL PSYCHIC.

In Evelyn Underhill’s classic, Mysticism, I read and came to understand these dramatic experiences more deeply; but I would not read that book till I was in my 40’s.

In 1982 I had a vast spiritual awakening, the story of which is in my book, STIGMATA.  I was forever transformed in my understanding of how the universe operates and what is really important and found it difficult to be in the world.  I had to learn to be in the world and not of it.   My life from that time forward has been dedicated to service of humankind on our journey to oneness through re-membrance. 

While it was the direct energy of the Christ Consciousness that transformed me, many angels, ascended masters and inter-dimensional beings also presented themselves with their wisdom and knowledge.  They all gave me tools and insights to use in working with myself and others.  My life was no longer my own.  As you probably know – there is a power much greater than this little self, and it is with that higher power that I align.  Seeing what I have seen and knowing what I now know, there would be no other choice.

All of my paintings, writings, and endeavors are indelibly linked to this great force that some may call God – and dedicated to the betterment and upliftment of humankind. 

It was during the early 80’s that I began to work professionally with people in consulting and healing venues.  While I had always been doing this work as it was given to me, I began to share and explore some of the new tools and insights I was given.  Opening the door for others by any means possible is the passion that drives me. 

Most of my learning has come directly from the “other side”, the invisible world, or deep within me – however you would like to describe it.   My own “knowing” is my guide and I am sure there are many guides – guiding that knowing. 

While I offer many “spiritual services” on this website, I would not describe myself as a psychic or healer or shaman or writer or artist or realtor.   These aspects are integrated parts of my self, they are not who I am or what I am.   I would not define myself as any particular aspect of myself.  There is not a title or label that seems to fit me.  I am.

Good fortune follows me, and I have had the blessing of being able to spend this lifetime developing a variety of forms of self expression that allow me to bring lifetimes of experience into present time.   

It is quite likely I can assist you on your journey, enhance your understanding and awaken your gifts.  It is an honor to be called upon and I cherish the opportunity for the engagement.   Everyone who has crossed my path has brought a gift.  I am grateful for every gift I have received.

I recommend you read through the services I offer here then contact me.  We can discuss options that may be beneficial for you at this time in your process.   Every person is on a unique path, and we want to honor that path every step of the way. 

My thanks to the San Francisco Art Institute; Multi-dimensional Research and Expansion; Gail Glendenning; Grandfather Roberts and the medicine women and men, shamans, mystics and everyday people who shall remain nameless – you know who you are - for their initiations, awarenesses, dialogues, their beautiful reflections and like-mindedness.   I am grateful to all those who came before…leaving a trace or a trail of their existence for us. 

The LUMINOUS ORACLE is a tabletop book which will give you a precise reading anytime you open it.   It is the culmination of decades of working with individuals and groups on the journey to deeper understandings and ultimately, oneness.
